FIT5197: Rubric for Assignment 1
Use this rubric to determine what you need to do in the assignments to get the highest
marks. A1 refers to assignment 1. A1 covers the lecture material up to, and including, week
4.
 Probability
 Bayes theorem
 Probability density function, cumulative density function
 Chebyshev’s inequality
 Correlation, covariance
 Distributions of continuous random variables

A1 is worth 20% of the final grade and addresses the following unit learning outcomes:
 Perform exploratory data analysis with descriptive statistics on given datasets.
 Perform fundamental random sampling, simulation and hypothesis testing for required
scenarios.
 Construct models for inferential statistical analysis.


Assignment
component
A1 Lowest marks (approaching 0%) Highest marks (approaching
100%)
Mathematical
answers
80%  Incorrect answer
 Poor/no justification of
steps/final answer
 Little or no mathematical
working out
 Math not written in
markdown

 Correct answer
 Strong justification of
steps/final answer
 Complete mathematical
working out so that a
marker can understand
how you arrived at the final
solution
 Math written in markdown

Coding
answers
10%  Incorrect answer
 Poor/no justification of
steps/final answer via
comments in the code or
complementary text cells
 Few computational steps not
related to correct answer.
 Correct answer
 Strong justification of
steps/final answer via
comments or
complementary text cells
 Complete computational
steps to arrive at the final
answer
Presentation
is composed
the following
items below:


2 of 2
Submitted
documents

5%  Did not submit pdf of the
notebook file
 Poorly written, hard to follow
 Unstructured
 Submitted pdf of the
notebook as well as the
notebook file
 Well written, easy to follow
 Well structured

Coding
quality/structu
re/elegance/V
isualisation
5%  Some errors, code does not
run, full of warnings
 No comments
 Inefficient/ lengthy syntax
(e.g. too many unnecessary
for loops, copy and pasting
code instead of using
functions)
 Computationally inefficient
(runs forever)
 No appropriate indenting of
code to improve readability
 Number of decimal places
used for final answers does
not correspond to what was
requested in the assignment
 Excessive use of “hard
coding” (embedding data
directly into the source code
of a program or other
executable object, as
opposed to obtaining the
data from external sources
or generating it at runtime).

 Code runs, error free,
warning free
 Concise syntax
 Computationally efficient
 Detailed comments
 Appropriate use of
indenting to make code
more readable
 Number of decimal places
used for final answers
matches what was
requested in the
assignment
 Minimal, if any use of “hard
coding” - loads data from
external sources or passes
data/variables into
functions rather than
creating the variable inside
the function again.
